What They're Saying
Emma started riding lessons with Pam Ashford over a year ago. When Emma started she had confidence issues due to a prior instructor, that melted away under Pam’s kind, positive teaching style. Within a couple of lessons she had Emma jumping with a huge smile on her face again. She believes in her students and that alone gives them confidence. It’s a huge thing for a teenager!

Over the Moon Eventing is a charming, super well-run facility, the horses paddocks are all cleaned out regularly and Pam is extremely helpful in accommodating special needs. One of my horses is on a special diet, Pam and her crew are very careful to help customizing the feeding to this horses needs. This is very much appreciated. Pam is very reliable, approachable and helpful. Her husband Gary is also extremely personable and skilled at fixing things and helping out.

What They're Saying
Putting my daughter in Pam's riding school was one of the best decisions l've ever made. She was in her program for over 5 years and did drill team with Danielle for several years as well. During that time my daughter learned so much, made some of her most cherished memories, found lifelong friends and became a really great rider! Pam puts so much heart into everything she does and her students are very lucky to have her. We are forever grateful for Pam and what she offers to young riders!

What They're Saying
Pam's program has been a huge part of my life and I wouldn't be the rider I am today if it wasn't for her! Going to the barn was my favorite part of my day for so many years and I was always greeted with smiles and friendly faces in the positive riding community pam had built! One thing I admire about pam is how much she cares about her students! She trailered me and other young riders to countless shows, cross country rides and beach days and was always putting out energy to make it a fun experience all around! She is always very supportive and I am so grateful that I got to learn and be part of her riding school!
